Gulp. Apple certainly has the might to influence more than technology now. To repeat a tweet: Apple could buy Greece and rename it iCountry.

Why not buy Ireland as they use it as a base within the EU. They could rename it iReland

To be fair, the US government could just print more money if it really had to. All Apple can do is make a new iPod or iPhone.
Wait... those are the same thing aren't they?
Damn.

I have more money than the US Government! I don't have any debt, the US has trillions... It isn't difficult to have more money than the US Government!

I think they meant in cash on hand, rather than an overall valuation, in which case yes, you probably are up on the US.
